I find it funny where the clip cuts off as the airplane quickly spirals to the ground. Love the video, and you were right, the plane doesn’t have to go in a straight line, just fast. Amazing video!
That was the first and only flight of that plane. Looking back, I should have just flown it a few more times to get a good flight. :) But thanks for appreciating the quirks, Eleon!
I'm teaching a homeschool co-op science lessons and this year we are learning about birds. Your channel is such a treasure trove of information! My students are loving your videos, thank you for your work
We are doing the same! Every week we have a different video from this series and a different observation we are trying to notice on nature walks. Super cool! Thanks BioBush!
Everyone in the comments talking about how informative this video is and I'm just here using it for animation reference, not even realizing it has audio I'm small brain But hey, at least it worked
Honestly that is a great use for the video. It's always nice to see art where they have taken the time to get the animal details correct! Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed the visual part of the video. :)
@@BioBush thanks! I would show you what I made but it's a flipbook(it's also not finished yet), I don't have any real animation software. I also rewatched the video but with the volume up, and I didn't skip the first part, and the vid was actually pretty good. Was a little disappointed that I didn't discover the audio first time around, but, y'know, it is what it is
Im trying to learn about bird aerodynamics for artistic purposes and found this video to be helpful, thanks! What books, videos or resources (intended for adults) do you recommend to really understand the intricacies of bird flight? Thanks in advance. Subbed.
Awesome! Thank you, Magnan Imus! I'm glad you found some value in this video. I learned SO much by treating the following page as a self-study course: people.eku.edu/ritchisong/ornitholsyl.htm. Sections 2 and 3 cover the origin and mechanics of bird flight. It's a rich information mine from which to pull out treasures. Let me know if you have further questions!
@@BioBush Oh wow that link looks like a fantastic resource! Thank you!! I really never gave too much thought or appreciation to birds but I gotta admit the more I learn the more fascinated I become. I have a bunch of questions but I'll check out your link as it might have the answers I need. If not I'll definitely take you up on your offer and ask. Thanks again :)
Learning something new is a good experience on any day. I'm glad you found this helpful; there are so many interesting things to learn about birds. Thanks for watching, Isabel!
Thanks a bunch for this informative video, Steve! I found it really interesting how these different wing shapes and types affect bird flight, and you explained them really well. Our family has a peach-faced lovebird and now I know our baby boy has elliptical wings hehe! Also I love how you've replied to every single comment! I'm very thankful to have found your video while looking up bird wing structures and I look forward to watching your other informative videos. Thanks again, Steve take care and stay safe!
That's so nice of you, 482k7! I'm glad you found this helpful, and there is plenty more out there to learn. I recommend one of the videos on structural color because it's a fun bird fact to show people. Peach-faced Lovebirds don't have any structurally colored feathers but they are bred from birds that have structural green. Thank you for watching!
This is actually quite an interesting video. A great overview of avian aerodynamics. My one small issue is with the paper aeroplane comparison. Paper aeroplanes fly by vortex lift only and don't use cambered airfoils. I would love to know if birds ever take advantage of vortex lift, but I think the answer is as a rule: no. in that sense the comparison is a bit weak
Hi Comet! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously. It's a privilege to dig up information for motivated learners like yourself. I just found examples in the literature of swifts using leading-edge vortices for lift (dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.1104682) and slotted wings being supported by multiple vortices (doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2017.0099), so it looks like yes, some do! With 10,000 species and millions of years to find different solutions, birds have found many solutions on how flying works. Thank you for watching!
I don’t really know what’s my favorite🤔 part but I do like how you use the paper airplanes at the end that was a good example in my opinion. but I do wish you talked more about how the Birds body and weight affects the wings
Thanks for taking the time to look up the last two planes for me. I didn't expect you to and I looked it up myself and came up with the Spitfire also. According to my research they said that the slotted wing in similar to our Airline planes. Maybe because the way the flap on the wing goes up and down.
We don't have materials which would make truly slotted airplane wings feasible. But that might be a fun thing to imagine with students. How could airplane wings take take more inspiration from bird wings, if materials were not a limit?
Hi Sir @ BioBush. Amazing nature presented with such precision! Thanks. Now I have a childlike question with a scientific spirit: Utilizing all these nature techniques of flight it it possible for us human to fly like the birds of the air. Or are we stuck with the Wright brothers' invention only? Kindly give me an honest answer please. Thank you. - Renold
Thank you for the kind words, Renold! I like your question a lot, and I have wondered the same thing. The short answer is no, humans are not even close to light enough or strong enough to fly with biological wings. But let's throw biological constraints out the window and imagine what a flying human would look like. Here are some considerations. - A flying human has to shed as much weight as possible. Shorter legs, smaller organs, lighter bones, even if it reduces their performance. - That weight saving has to be added back into HUGE flight muscles (pectorals and trapezius to raise and lower the wings. Birds use an amazing trick to use their supracoracoideal muscle instead, which I talk about in BioBush.tv/birdmuscles). Flight muscles are up to 16% of body mass in birds, so we're talking 25 pounds of additional muscle. - Scaling bird wing size up to human size results in 30-foot hang-glider sized wings. Indeed, that's why hang gliders are that size, because they need to support a human. There are two ways we might get around these limitations. Technology could advance enough that we have super strong, super-foldable hang gliders, maybe with some powered flapping assistance. Or, as xkcd pointed out (xkcd.com/620/) we can use very simple wings to fly on Saturn's moon Titan because it has 14% of Earth's gravity and a 50% denser atmosphere. Wow, that was a long response. I should make a video out of this. Thanks for the interesting question, Renold! Please keep the curiosity and wonderful questions coming!
Hi Marco! YES. I don't think biplane-style wings are feasible for flapping flight (too much interference) or for soaring on thermals (where you WANT a lot of horizontal surface area). But having an extra set of wings on the head or legs would work fine. Indeed, it appears that Microraptor used a set of leg wings to glide. Two sets of wings create more drag, which is why they are not common. But there could be some reason why having one long set of wings would be a problem, like the creature diving through trees for prey/fruit. Thanks for the question! Let me know if you have other theoretical animal questions.
@@BioBush I was specifically thinking of two designs: Dragons and a hypothetical bird which is more speck-zoo/sci-fi than fantasy. My dragon design includes several structures, mostly on body parts that create a lot of drag (long legs, long tail, big head) which I collectively refer to as "pseudo-wings". they are essentially my excuse for letting dragons fly without magic or the ridiculously huge wings an animal this size would need, by giving them more wing surface area and also making up for the drag of the aforementioned body parts with lift. The bird is inspired by the Cloudstepper from The Future Is Wild (if you're not aware, basically Microraptor with powered flight). In the show, they explained how the Cloudstepper needed the versatility of the different wing types, and instead of compromising, it simply evolved an extra pair of wings. They didn't explain the different wing types and how that would affect the Cloudstepper's though (which is why I looked for this video in the first place). It can do a split to make use of the extra pair of wings, tug its legs behind its body to avoid drag like a normal bird, or something in between as needed. My logic was that since soaring wings are all about surface area, and giving an animal extra wings (true or pseudo) gives it more wing surface no matter how you design them, I could simply disregard those in their designs and focus on the other types. Does that make sense?
@@marcopohl4875 Yes, the pseudo wings are a great way to catch thermals, updrafts (like around cliffs), and get a big creature up in the air. If they're the fire-breathing type of dragon they can even make their own thermals (or for story purposes, set the protagonist's forest on fire to make thermals for a dragon party up in the air). The amount of drag with all their wings out would be enormous, but they can overcome that by spending lots of energy flapping, or circling in thermals and diving after food. You have an interesting idea!
@@BioBush So I got that right that I can Ignore the soaring wings in their design then? And for the bird specifically, would slotted wings on their arms and delta on their legs make sense?
Yeah, soaring, slotted, it's about efficiency in different flying styles. Soaring stays up forever, slotted lifts heavy things. But if your energy is not constrained you could use any wing for anything. Even so I think slotted is the "best" choice because if they pick up a cow or something they will need the extra lift. And they look cool. Mixing wings isn't really a problem because of the aforementioned "any wing works when you have enough energy". Delta on the legs has some interesting implications because it means they probably tuck in their front wings while diving at high speeds and steer with the legs, kinda like fins on a missile. That tells you about how they hunt and maybe about their intraspecific displays. Birds also have a delta wing on their posterior, called a tail, and they use it for extra lift (exactly what you are proposing) and a couple other things. I made a video about this at BioBush.tv/tails. The more I think about your design the more sense it makes. I think you have a winner!
Hi McCoy! Hummingbirds mostly have a streamlined elliptical wing, which is why I didn't talk about them here. But I have made many videos about hummingbirds: Here's a visualization of how fast their wings move: BioBush.tv/speed And here's a discussion of how much they eat every day: biobush.tv/hummingbirdfood
Love your video! I love birds and enjoyed the visual examples given in this video, I'm studying for a creative writing assignment and I wanted to write about bird flight, thanks for the info.
Thank you for the kind words, Zied! Now that you know different wings support different lifestyles, you can come up with all kinds of ideas related to social classes or how bird society works. Thanks for watching!
If you look at pictures of Canada Geese with their wings open, they have those slotted feathers at the end. Their wings aren't as square as a crane, but I would still slot them into the slotted wing category! Thanks for watching, Elijah!
You gave examples of the types of planes that relate to the bird wing for Long Soaring and Delta Wings but not slotted or Elliptical. Do you think you can come up with a plane type for those types? I want to make a chart out of the information. Thanks for all 3 of your bird videos (beak, feet, wings). I will have my students construct their own bird choosing the type of wing, beak and feet they want their bird to have and explain what habitat their bird would be found in and what it eats.
Oh, what a good question! The Spitfire is the most obviously elliptical wing, but most little airplanes have the same concept (example: Skyhawk) of general-purpose wings. There are no obviously slotted wing airplanes, but the biplane is a short logical jump (more wings for more lift). I wish you were around when I made this video because that would have been an amazing idea to include. That's an awesome learning activity! I like how it's open-ended for whatever creativity they want to bring. I hope you get lots of unique suggestions from your students. Odds are pretty good that whatever they come up with there is some real bird already doing it. Thanks for your kind words Karen, and thanks for teaching about birds!
It's a generalist bird, ready to tackle lots of different problems. It's just not as specialized in any particular situation. Still a successful way to live. Thanks to humans, it's one of the most common birds on the planet!
That is an awesome fact! I wonder if the airplane design was inspired by this type of bird wing. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, Lance! I like learning new things too.
You are right! Hummingbird wings are shaped differently than any of these types. There is always an interesting exception in biology. Thanks for pointing that out, Spair, and thanks for watching!
Haha. That is also a way to appreciate birds. Maybe next time you can check out the bones and study their skeletal structure! Thanks for watching, Kien!
Hi Mich! I would definitely recommend the notes for this online course. So much good information in there. people.eku.edu/ritchisong/554_syllabus.htm Thanks for watching!
Allah says in Al-Quran...... (Did't you see the birds flying in air, Allah holds them).... Same principle and particular wing's cross section shape of flying bird is used in today's aircraft..... Flight is possible due to it's wing shape and natural air viscosity and stickness....
Isn't it amazing how well-designed birds are? There are so many mysteries hidden in nature. It's up to us to be curious and feel awe when we see how amazing living things are. Thanks for watching, Black Spider!
Bats have a different wing structure. Their finger bones are extremely long, and the skin of their wings is stretched over the finger bones. So they are extremely maneuverable because they can move their fingers to change the shape of their wings. That said, I would probably put their "normal" wing shape as the elliptical shape. It's not long, it's not triangular, nor are there slotted extensions. All-purpose wings. Good question, and I hope that helps! Thanks for watching, Skyward!
Thank you, Karen! Birds have been part of our culture so long that there are basically unlimited bird jokes. So lots of videos end with a joke before people fly the coop. Thank you for watching!

If you are being super scientific, a wandering albatross actually has a wingspan of 11 feet 6 inches!!!
What wing type do geese have?

Slotted wings the same as triple slotted flaps on a boeing 747 to increase the lift coefficient on the wing.
That is an awesome fact! I wonder if the airplane design was inspired by this type of bird wing. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, Lance! I like learning new things too.

Flight is possible due to it's wing shape and natural air viscosity and stickness....
Isn't it amazing how well-designed birds are? There are so many mysteries hidden in nature. It's up to us to be curious and feel awe when we see how amazing living things are. Thanks for watching, Black Spider!

I'm a slotted winged person
A very good-looking type of wing, and extremely useful for the types of birds that need it. Thanks for watching, Jack!
Bats what kind of wing they have !!??
Bats have a different wing structure. Their finger bones are extremely long, and the skin of their wings is stretched over the finger bones. So they are extremely maneuverable because they can move their fingers to change the shape of their wings. That said, I would probably put their "normal" wing shape as the elliptical shape. It's not long, it's not triangular, nor are there slotted extensions. All-purpose wings. Good question, and I hope that helps! Thanks for watching, Skyward!
@@BioBush Thank you very much

I hope you learned something interesting. Thanks for taking the time to learn about birds!
Funny joke in the end
Thank you, Karen! Birds have been part of our culture so long that there are basically unlimited bird jokes. So lots of videos end with a joke before people fly the coop. Thank you for watching!
Praise be to Allah, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels, messengers with wings,- two, or three, or four (pairs): He adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things.
